Key Concepts
Concept One: [SMART]
Description of concept: David Nylund's smart approach enlists the child's strengths to conquer his/her problems.
S- Separating the problem of ADHD from the child
M- Mapping the influence of ADHD on the child and family
A- Attending to the exceptions to the ADHD story
R- reclaiming special abilities of children diagnosed with ADHD
T- Telling and celebrating the new story.
Concept Two: [TREE]
Description of concept: A strategy to supporting elementary school writing:
T- topic sentence, tell what you believe
R-reasons, tell 3 or more reasons why you believe this. Will your readers believe this?
E-ending, wrap it up
E-examine, check all three parts
Concept Three: [ADHD, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder]
Description of concept: Some indicators:
Inattention- doesn't pay close attention to class activities, details or work, teacher directions, class discussions, can't organize work.
Hyperactivity- fidgets and squirms, can't stay in assigned seat, can't move slowly
Impulsivity- blurts out answers, has trouble waiting for their turn, interrupts
Concept Four: [RTI, Response To Intervention]
Description: Make sure students get appropriate research-based instruction and support as soon as possible if they have a possible learning delay
Use a three-tiered system for students:
1. use a strong, well-researched way to teach all students
2. receive extra support and additional small group instruction
3. additional one-on-one intensive help and perhaps a special needs assessment
Application for Teachers
Practical Applications: Idea One: Individual differences
According to Gardner, teachers should take individual differences among students seriously and differentiate their instruction to connect with each student.
Idea Two: Types of way to teach
Any discipline, skill, or concept should be taught in several appropriate ways. Anything work knowing has different representations and multiple connections to various ways of thinking. Understandings can be expressed in words, images, movements, tables, charts, numbers, and so on.
Idea Three: Ways to help students learn with ADHD
Use lots of pictures. Recognize cultural and racial identity. Know when to bend the rules. Notice when a child is doing well on a particular assignment. Try to not only use lecture with these students. Don't give this child tons of homework. Implement more breaks. Be Patient!
